Interpretation is the essence of a subject – a taste. It inspires excitement – a desire to know more. Interpreters understand their subject and are skilled communicators. Interpretation can involve a variety of media – theatrical events, publications, audio tours, guided walks, interpretation panels, workshops, visitor centres, installations, exhibitions, websites or more.

Sometimes “interpretation” gets confused with “information”. Have you ever looked at an information board or a pamphlet and felt your eyes glaze over? Too much information and you haven’t got the time to take it all on board, not right now.

An interpreter doesn’t drown their audience in information. An interpreter brings their subject to life and inspires their audience to want to know more.

Auk interprets. Auk inspires.

All photographs and illustrations in the online portfolios are available to purchase as prints and for use in your own publications and design projects.

Other images are also available – just Ask Auk.

Auk's folio includes examples from different aspects of our work - photographs, illustrations, graphic design, exhibition design, 3D, film and theatre and communications work.

The work included should give you an idea of the options available to you - but it doesn't stop there. If there's something you'd like to do that you don't see here, let us know.

Ooh - and - all illustrations and photographs are available for use in your own publication, and as high quality archival prints for your wall or for presents.

Like the style but want something specific? Ask - you never know - we may already have it - we have plenty more images on file.

Or why not commission something?

If you want to say it with words, with images or design, with sound, through events, an exhibition, with puppets, or another medium that takes your fancy -

If you want to tell adults or children, experts, enthusiasts or those who don't yet care, but should –
